Paratrooper

A soldier that has gone through Airborne School, and has jumped one time for each letter in the term "Airborne Paratrooper." After these 19 jumps, one can consider themselves a novice paratrooper that has earned the partial respect of seasoned vets.
Many people go through the school and never jump again. Refer to the term "five jump chump"

SPC Johnson: "Get out of here leg! Right, Williams? Stupid legs."

SPC Williams: "How many jumps do you have?"

SPC Johnson: "5. I did Airborne School and now I'm a paratrooper."

SPC Williams: "You're not a paratrooper. You 5 jump chumps always act like heroes."

paratrooper

Soldier who is trained to jump out of perfectly good airplanes, for the purpose of inserting in enemy territory away from the heavy defenses around national borders and the front lines.

Paratroopers are pretty helpless during the airdrop, but their strength is in putting force in an area that isn't expecting it or prepared to react.

I love how the pictures completely didn't match up with the definition..
Anyhow, a paratrooper is someone who jumps out of airplanes (with a parachute) for the purpose of performing a military action on the ground. Normally used for behind enemy lines or hard to reach areas.

My uncle was a paratrooper in the army, he was in a lot more planes taking off than he was landing.

Paratrooper

A person who jumps out of perfectly good aircraft, and catches bullets. These bullet sponges think they are special when they are just another expendable military resource.

Look at those paratroopers trying to be cool
